Reader Reviews1. The tables are great. It's Loomis, after all. 2. The tables are all snitched from "Figure drawing for all it's worth", and stripped of most text. The material constitutes hardly one fifth of the complete "Figure drawing...". This is the reason for low rating: it's strange that the publisher chose to rip pages out of a book instead of reissuing the complete work, which would be much more useful than this.
